More than 8,500 votes poured in to narrow 20 finalists to 10 winners. These artists will each receive a billboard that will rotate among 1,300 regional sites in Southwest Michigan for one year. The billboards will be erected at the end of May.

The 2012 Billboard Art Contest winners will be feted at a celebration with a mini gallery showing during Art & All That Jazz on September 21, 5:30 - 7:30 pm. The public will have the opportunity to meet the artists and purchase their work.
